According to the A1C test, the following ranges are used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C level falls between 5.7% and 6.4%, it indicates prediabetes. This means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. It's important to take steps to manage your blood sugar levels to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
